[Okay, so not a different brother. At least there's that.
BUT!]
so u met donnie in washington and u knew he was my brother and u didnt think 'hey maybe I should text leo about it'???
and do you care to elaborate on the "shit" he told u?
[He's not even going to comment on the "he's smart" part because it's self evident but also he's feeling like Donnie is actually pretty dumb right now!]
[Squint! You know what though, he doesn't have it in him to dwell over Accelerator's weird mood swings about this.]
yeah I found him, thx but no thx
[After he'd been scrounging around for a few days and was exhausted and hungry, but Leo isn't going to say that.
Especially because Accelerator just reminded him of something important. Ugh, they need to move to a different app for text communications than OurPowers.]
its cool, I think I can put it together from that geez I know he loves the sound of his own voice but he didnt have to give some stranger our life story
I was asking him a lot of questions. I could've stopped at any time, but I didn't.
[He'll just throw that out there. Leo does have a point, though.]
And to be completely fair, I told him some shit about myself, too. If you really want things balanced I can repeat it all for you. I don't care.
[It wouldn't be completely balanced because Donnie told him way more personal stuff than vice versa, but this is one of those situations Yomikawa talked about where he can be slightly less of a jerk than normal. Pay back a tiny fraction of the interest on that immense debt he has.]
[It's never not going to be weird when he runs into people who don't know that term.]
Psychic. I'm psychic.
It's a term where I'm from for human kids who have gone through a bunch of bullshit medical procedures that alters your brain and body so much you disassociate from regular reality and replace it with your own personal one. If you aren't completely useless, you can impose your personality reality on the regular one using mathematical calculations.
[There's no way in hell Accelerator is going to sugarcoat the worst parts of Academy City after having had to live through it all, no sir.
That joke is so bad, though. So bad.]
If we were talking face to face I'd be rolling my eyes right now, just so you know.
The math is the easy part. I could do it in my sleep. I have done it in my sleep. My point is like practically everyone else who gets stuck here, I've got some extraordinary ability. It just came from a lab and a bunch of bastard scientists instead of me being born with it, or whatever the hell is most common here. Donatello had mentioned you guys were mutated from non-sentient turtles, so I thought that was relevant information.
[By 'relevant information' he means there's some similarities between all of them regarding being engineered in a lab. Like, 'oh yeah, you're a fucked up science experiment. So am I. Cool.']
Anyway, it’s not like he was keeping the mutation part a secret. The Hamato side of the equation is the one that various entities have beef with, and so it’s the part Leo was trying to keep from getting around.]
yeah we can start a club escaped lab experiments anonymous did the scientists who gave u powers want world domination and/or genocide or nah?
[It’s usually one of those two things, at least.]
[There isn't really an 'escaped' part on his end. In fact, he's pretty sure his situation just got substantially worse back home.]
No. Espers aren't the end goal of their research, we're byproducts. They want to study the science behind how espers are produced. It's just hard to do that without actually producing espers, so there's an entire system set up to deal with that issue.
I think it's better than being created as a tool for someone else, like you guys.
gee thanks we got out of that life thanks to my dad tho which is good because the guy that mutated us is a real jerk he threw me off a roof once, did D tell you THAT??
[HE WILL NEVER LET IT GO.]
still sounds like it sucks for you tho man uh sorry
He mentioned your father, but nothing about a roof. Is there a story behind that?
[Just casually making a mental note to throw Draxum off a roof if he ever meets him nbd.]
You should be saving your fucking pity for someone else, I don't want it.
[He reeeeeaaaally doesn't deserve it.]
Anyways. My esper ability. I'm assuming you have some kind of mystic power like Donatello's mystic-tech, but he didn't specify. What I have is mostly along the lines of psychokinesis, there isn't much overlap with extrasensory perception.
uh well its kinda long short version: my big bro had something he wanted and draxum (the guy) had me so he said he'd throw me off the roof if my bro didn't hand it over bro called his bluff (EVEN THOUGH I TOLD HIM IT WASN'T A BLUFF) and he dropped me my big bro saved me tho so its cool
[Obviously, since Leo is not a smear on the NYC pavement.]
anyway hes "reformed" now ig but im not gonna let him forget that!
[He's not going to comment on the pity thing because fair enough. Leo's not big on receiving pity or sympathy either, so he lets it go.]
mines nothing like donnie's but yeah
psychokinesis so like u can set stuff on fire with your brain?
[Pffft what even is that story! These guys are real idiot heroes, it's kind of hilarious.]
Your brother's first mistake was assuming a scumbag on that level would bother bluffing. At least he made up for it by not letting you die like roadkill.
[Thumbs up to Raph.]
That's pyrokinesis, dumbass. Mine is the ability to manipulate vectors, which are the magnitude and direction of things. Displacement, force, velocity, acceleration, etc.

You're right, he's smart.

no subject
[He sends that, but at the same time....]
Did you find him?
[Lmao. Yeah.]
Shredder. Some family crap. I can go into more detail if you don't care about texts. [Or rather, having all this sent over OurPowers.]
no subject
yeah I found him, thx but no thx

its cool, I think I can put it together from that
geez
I know he loves the sound of his own voice but he didnt have to give some stranger our life story
[No offense except at least a little offense!]
no subject
Hmm. Well.]
I was asking him a lot of questions. I could've stopped at any time, but I didn't.

no subject
It comes back around to his previous thoughts about the app, though.]
sure
but are u sure you want to do it here?
we can move to another app
or at least not over text
actually we probably shouldn't talk about antasticfay here either
no subject
[Stupid sketchy app.]
You got any better ideas?
[He hasn't exactly looked at alternative apps, because that would mean admitting he needs to talk to people on occasion and we can't have that.]
no subject
o wait ur from Japan right?
so line?
whatsapp if we gotta
[Leo, child of the internet.]
From OurPowers to Discord!
Discord seems fine.
[He'll download the app and make an account quickly, then send Leo his Discord Tag.
It's totally just Accelerator#6631.]
boom!
alright sweet
now tell me what you guys talked about
im so so curious
[He is also ready to strangle both of them but they don't have to know that (yet).]
no subject
He told me about how his mystic-tech works, and I told him about being an esper.
no subject
[He doesn't remember Accelerator mentioning that, but then, it's not like Leo asked.]
no subject

no subject
wow uh
not gonna lie
all of that sounds pretty awful
especially the math part
why even have psychic powers if you have to do math
[Okay, that's definitely not the worst part of it, but listen, this is how Leo copes with things that make him feel bad.]
no subject

What can you do?
no subject
eh don't be too hard on him, he was just doing what he thought was right. but yes if he had let me die I would have haunted him into an early grave.
[And he would do the same if the situation were reversed, so, you know, it's fine.]
oh right, I knew that
me?
teleportation
NOT to other dimensions so dont even ask
it hasnt halfway worked since I got here anyway
no subject
[Standards that don't include being A-OK with throwing their kids off of roofs. Yeesh.]
What the fuck.
[Seriously. SERIOUSLY?]
Fine, I won't ask about that. I'll ask why the fuck isn't it working?
no subject
Anyway, moving on.]
I dont KNOW why its not working
ive been trying to fix it
but its not like there's a user guide on this stuff
its probably because I lost a sword before I came here
no subject
A sword? What do you need a sword for? Does it act like some kind of conduit or focal point?
